与我经历治疗的体验
Walking into therapy with me, you’ll find a space that is soft, steady, and deeply attuned to you. My approach is warm, collaborative, and thoughtful, gently guiding without rushing, offering structure when it's needed, and always honouring your pace. Whatever you're navigating, I bring a calm and compassionate presence that helps you feel safe to show up just as you are. Together, we’ll make space for the complexity of your experience, your strength and your struggle, your grief and your growth. I blend evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, EMDR, ACT, and CFT with a deep respect for your lived experience, culture, and values.

治疗手法
这些是我主要的治疗手法,均接受过专业训练或有丰富临床经验:

眼动脱敏与再加工法 (EMDR)
Helps my clients heal from trauma. It uses eye movements or gentle stimulation while you think about a troubling memory, helping your brain process it in a healthier way. EMDR can reduce the emotional impact of past events so they don't feel as overwhelming. I offer this for birth trauma as well.

接受承诺疗法 (Acceptance Commitment Therapy)
ACT helps clients navigate difficult thoughts and emotions with more openness and self-compassion. It supports my clients in letting go of struggle, connecting to their values, and taking meaningful steps toward a more fulfilling life even with pain present. It is about accepting and connecting.

情绪聚焦治疗 (Emotion-focused Therapy)
EFT helps clients explore emotions with depth and compassion. By understanding and transforming emotional patterns, clients develop a stronger sense of self, improve relationships, and begin to respond to life from a place of clarity and authenticity.

内部家庭系统 (Internal Family Systems)
IFS helps clients explore the different “parts” within them like the inner critic, the people-pleaser, or the wounded child with curiosity and care. By building a relationship with these parts, clients find healing, balance, and a deeper connection to their true self.

简明解决取向治疗 (Brief Solution-oriented Therapy)

常见问题
您知道吗?

I’m a lifelong learner at heart. I love deepening my knowledge in relational work, trauma, perinatal mental health, and culturally responsive therapy.

My path to becoming a therapist was shaped by personal experience navigating postpartum struggles, chronic illness, and the complex cultural dynamics.

I believe healing happens in spaces that are non-judgmental, affirming, and deeply attuned. My style is warm, thoughtful,& collaborative not rushed.


As a South Asian woman and a disabled therapist, I hold space for the complex ways culture, family roles, and identity shape our emotional world.
